Dual Monitors?

[PaulMacC]

I have two of the exact same monitor, how do I hook them up to one another?

[Fehm]

HDMi Cable! :P Or VGA...

Google monitor type and then put Dual screen or something =]

Goodluck

That doesnt explain anything o_O
My computer has 1 VGA output and 1 HDMI output.
Im looking to link up two VGA monitors.

Well you need a converter, however HDMI > VGA converters are very expensive and cost around £60.

This will work however, HDMI > DVI converter, about £5-10 and then a DVI > VGA converter, about £5.

Make sure you get all the female/male conversions right and I'm not sure on how the quality will be at the end but it'd surely work xD

Can you find me one from Maplins?

[Jordy]

Maplins is a rip off for converters so it's very expensive, Amazon or eBay would be much better.

You'll also need a standard VGA cable but I assume you have one as it should of came with the monitor.
